Guys I can understand not wanting to have to deal with the potential problems, and like you say the OP could have searched, but you make it sound like you have never been to any other forums. On other forums that I am a member of, at least one of which is near AT's size, custom avatars have not exactly caused the system to colapse. I know it might requre additonal moderation, but if it was allowed it wouldn't be the end of the world.

There are enough peeps here that would attempt to abuse the system.

It has been demonstrated again and again.
Both when pics were allowed in the sigs (as stated above) and the immaturity of the girly threads.

Recently, the crack-down in OT this past week is an example of the types of people that are willing to abuse/cripple the system for their own perverted pleasures.

 
The best method to accomplish this (in my opinion) would be employing an entirely client-side solution, where you could substitute particular avatars in for the defaults. It's not worth the trouble it would cause to simply allow user-uploaded avatars.

On a side note, it still annoys me that we have flag/ribbon avatars... but I guess that means I hate america or something.
